I'm searching for Rebecca Turner, b. 1801, either NC or Jefferson Co., GA,
m. Jonas Byrd, Jr., 1822. They lived in and around Emanuel Co., GA, and,
although it's reported they also lived in Coffee, Clinch, and Telfair
Co.s, I have reason to believe they didn't move, but rather the county
boundaries changed.
They are believed to be buried in Clinch Co., GA. Their children were:
Wiley, Winnifred, Sophronia, William Arlington, Anthony, and Jesse -- all
last name Byrd. My husband is descended from William Arlington Byrd, b.
11Sept. 1833, Emanuel Co., GA., son of Jonas & Rebecca. Wm. m. Narcissus
Stanfield, b. 1840, Ware Co., GA, daughter of Jehu & Elizabeth Stanfield, all
of GA.
Wm. & Narcissus had 10 children: Bedorah, Jehu, Emma, Martha, Wm. Henry,
Elias, Sherod Anthony, Remer, Clifton Morgan, Miriam Clementine. My husband
is descended from Sherod Anthony (his grandfather).
Son Jehu of Wm. & Narcissus had a daughter named Blanche. Blanche's
daughter, Kathryn Victoria Bond married a Mr. Partin of FL.
If there are any like surnames out there -- help!! We are at a real stumper
on the ancestors of Jonas and Rebecca. The info we have is flawed -- not
hard to realize since there were so many William Byrds out there! Every time
we think we have Jonas, Jr.'s grandfather, it turns out to be the wrong one.
The info found in "Pioneers of Wiregrass GA" is incorrect, so can't use
that.
Thanks.

Subj: Survey and Query
Date: 97-11-13 10:30:04 EST
From: bilgro@netdoor.com (Nancy)
Reply-to: bilgro@netdoor.com
Nyla,
I am enjoying your compilations and believe it is time I
jumped into the frey. I am a year young grandmother, who likes
to preserve all sorts of old things. I loved hearing about the old Turner
House because I am a when I am not engrosed in genealogy
research which I have been doing on and off for the last 15 years (I guess
that makes me a serious amateur) and live in an old MS "dog-trot" house
built c 1835.
I am terribly stumped on my Turner line and would appreciate what your
readers may have to offer. There is so much unconfirmed in my earliest
information that I have been hesitant to send it in, but with that
qualification, here it is:
James Turner from VA c 1730 to 1740 , moved into NC, and by
the Revolution was in Union Dist. SC. Known children:
1. James b 1758 likely VA d Morgan Co Ga 1828 (left a will) m
Elizabeth Baker b 1762 d 1850 Henry Co. GA
2. Butler b ? d 1808 Jasper Co. GA
3. William b 1768 probably in NC (lived in Henry co. Ga in 1840,
age 72)
4. Unknown brother b c 1750's (my ancestor)
5. Mary b 1757 VA d Chambers Co. AL 1851 m Thomas Trammell
in 1775 in Union Dist. SC (lived in Greene later Hancock Co.
GA in 1789)
6. Susannah b c1755 m Martin Hammond. (Martin died in Hancock
County Ga 1796 where the other men named above were at his
estate sale.) Susannah m 2nd _____ Hitchcock.
James Turner was in Greene County Ga by 1789 living next door to
Thomas Trammell. I am not sure, but the father James may also
have had a brother named William who came to Ga with him. I
know this is a strange way to make a request, but I have had to
track the family because I cannot figure out the name of the
unknown brother listed above. That unknown Turner was the
father of my ancestor Edward b 1778 in SC. I think Edward's
father must have died before the rest of the family came to GA,
possibly even in the Revolution.
I know James SR. was from VA and I know they passed through
NC on the way to Union Dist. SC before 1775 when Mary was
married there. And I know James, SR was in Greene Co. GA
(later a part of Hancock [from deeds]) with many of them after the
Revolution. I also know what I have is a bit confusing, so if any
clarification is needed, I hope someone will ask.
Now on to my line:
Edward Turner b 1778 in SC m Mary Melvin was in Hancock
County Ga by 1803. I believe Edward is the son of the Unknown
Turner above and the grandson of James Turner of VA. Edward
may have had a brother named Larkin Turner b 1778 SC d 1878
Meriwether Co. GA m Leah unknown b 1783 MD
Edward and Mary's children are:
Reuben (not verified)b 1799 SC m Mary unknown
James C. b 1800 SC m Nancy unknown (my direct line)
Mary Turner b 1802 d 1855 Meriwether Co. GA (never married)
Elisha b 1803 GA m Lucinda Wesley in Newton Co. GA (her
letters written in 1864 mention the Old Man Edward who was
living with them in 1850 in Meriwether Co.Ga)
Shadrack b 1808 GA m Elizabeth unknown b GA
Absalom b 1810 GA d 1855 Meriwether Co. GA m Mary Glass
Edward C. Turner b c 1816 GA m in 1844 Martha Lewis
Daniel Clark b 1820 GA d 1908 TX m in 1847 Rebecca Meador
Harris Clark (not verified)
Thanks for your wonderful work.

Hi Nyla,
I have what I believe is some exciting news. Sandy will be creating a VIA
web page and will be concentrating on Via research. We also will have a VIA
discussion group on Rootsweb. I will send you another e-mail when the list
is up and running. We are both subscribers to your group and enjoy the
information exchanged in it. Our hopes are that our discussion group on the
Via surname and your group can complement each other and everyone will be
willing to share their information. If anyone has any questions, concerns,

lived in Northern Virginia over 20 years and really like that area (except in
the winter). It's a great place to raise kids. Fairfax County has a great

Please include me in your list. My TURNER line disappears into a maze of
Thomas
TURNERs, but I suspect a link to the Boswell Turner family, as my ggfather
was named James Boswell Turner. The earliest I can go reliably is Thomas
TURNER, father of Kenion. There were many TURNERs living in the same area of
Fayete Co, GA, all b in SC. My Thomas m Lucinda Wilkins of NC.
Glad to share info...do I need to do something to make this right? Thanks, I

Date: 97-11-15 20:00:23 EST
From: madamx@trellis.net (Jeannie)
Dear group,
Although I've been doing genealogy for something like 5 years, I've
managed to avoid land transactions until recently. Now I'm trying to learn
more about how they work. Here is a particular transaction.
Henry Co. 10-5-1780 Susanna Reynolds rcvd 38 acres as a grant or
patent.
I have a list of these types of transactions, and very few seem to be with
women. Does this mean that Susanna is likely a widow? Here is why I
wonder.
My John Clark Sr. md. a Susanna Reynolds. My John Clark Jr. was born c
1790. In Patrick County marriage records, there is an entry for Polly
Reynolds, dau. of Susanna CLARK marrying Henry Chiles in 1794. This
most certainly MUST be my Susanna Reynolds, which means that either
she had Polly out of wedlock before she married my John Clark, or that
she married a Reynolds and had at least one child, Polly, before marrying
my John Clark. That is why it is so important to me to know whether this
Susanna Reynolds receiving land via grant or patent was probably a
widow, and if so, what are some of the reasons she might have rcvd it? I
sure do hope someone out there can give me advice on this, as my Clark
line is VERY frustrating!!!
Thanks so much!!!
